Twentythree MLAs in the ruling BJP-led government in Manipur have signed a resolution, pledging to protect the territorial integrity of the strife-torn State.
The MLAs also resolved that they would soon proceed to Delhi to persuade the Central leadership to find a solution to the present crisis at the earliest. Interestingly, Chief Minister N. Biren Singh was not among the signatories.
The signatories, after a meeting with members of newly formed civil society organisation Youth of Manipur (YOM) at the Chief Minister's secretariat on Monday night, stated that the Kuki Zo community's demand for a separate administration was not acceptable to them.
"It is unanimously resolved by all the undersigned members of the Legislative Assembly that we would stand for the territorial integrity of the State of Manipur and no form of separate administration will be agreed to by us," the resolution read.
On Monday night, thousands of YOM members marched towards the Chief Minister's bungalow to meet him, but security forces allowed only some of them past the barricades.
During their meeting with the Chief Minister, the YOM members demanded that legal action be taken against the 10 Kuki MLAs who demanded separate administration for the community in Manipur.
